The Fourth of July holiday may be over, but I'm still celebrating with this outfit post today! Over the long holiday weekend I spent most of my time hanging out with my best friend Nicole who is featured above. She was visiting from Orlando and we went all over town on Saturday {a few Instagram snaps captured our time together!}. When Monday rolled around I chose to wear a new dress I purchased when we stopped in our local Plato's Closet. This Lilly Pulitzer number still had the tags attached and retailed for $164! I only paid $20 for it on the bright side. Nicole also french braided my hair and I absolutely loved it! When Florida's humidity strikes, pulling your hair back in any way possible really helps. She wore a new top from Blu Spero which was on the sale rack, but I found some more off-the-shoulder tops that are just as affordable {Forever 21 and American Eagle picks can be found under her photo}. We spent the day relaxing and I created some "healthy" chocolate nutella cupsfor us to snack on.
